Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.0
GPA, above 10 of the 10 other online fax services we grade
Fax.Plus is an online fax service from Alohi, a Swiss company. It sends and receives faxes from a browser, email, print menus and apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, using a local or toll-free number or one ported in. Plans are priced by the pages included each month, and the Enterprise plan adds the API, single sign-on and a signed HIPAA agreement.

The report card
Best for faxing from email, a print menu or apps on any device
Fax.Plus sends and receives faxes from email, a print menu, a browser and apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, from $6.99 a month billed yearly for 200 pages. The free account sends 10 pages in total and can't receive, and a signed HIPAA agreement, the API and Zapier all sit on Enterprise at $79.99 a month.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Basic is $6.99 a month billed yearly ($8.99 monthly) for a number and 200 pages, right at the edge of this category's cheapest quarter. Extra pages are 10 cents, and the BAA and API need Enterprise at $79.99. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free account sends 10 pages in total and then stops. It has no number, so it can't receive a single fax. Enough for one form, not for a month. |
| Features | B | Local, toll-free or ported numbers in 48 countries, faxing from email, print menus and apps, broadcast to 500 people, scheduling, AI text extraction, a team console and an API. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job. |
| Ease of use | B | Fax.Plus rates 4.7 on the US App Store from 13,183 ratings, which puts it at B on our ease ladder. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with Gmail, Google Drive, Word, Teams, Slack, Dropbox and Zapier, and an API. Slack needs Business, and Zapier and the API need Enterprise. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Fax.Plus is for
- Fits if you fax a few hundred pages a month from email or your phone
- Works for small teams that want shared fax numbers under one admin
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to receive faxes free, as the free account sends 10 pages in total and has no number
- Pricey if you need a signed HIPAA BAA, the API or Zapier: all three are on Enterprise, from $79.99 a month billed yearly
- Tight if you send long documents on Basic, which caps a fax at 60 pages and charges 10 cents a page over 200
- Watch out: porting a US or Canadian number and toll-free numbers start on Premium at $13.99 a month billed yearly
- Watch out: numbers beyond the two on Business are $4.99 a month each, and picking a specific number is $19.99 once

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Fax.Plus you would be making fax numbers connected to the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 10 of the 10 other online fax services we grade. It costs $83.88 a year.
What you could not
- Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Gmail, Google Drive and Microsoft Word among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on, SCIM, HIPAA and roles and permissions.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Fax.Plus’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
